Many thanks to all the young musicians who came to the jam session and creative big band workshop at the CBSO centre yesterday. Also a major thanks to the tutors and teachers who brought the young folks along. It was a great day with lots of amazing performances from all involved.
We recorded the creative big band piece and will be putting it up on the Birmingham Jazz Youth Myspace Site for you to listen to.
We plan to take this further now with jam sessions for teenagers in Cafe One at Five Ways. We will also send tutors to some schools and open the creative big band session up to all ages and abilities.
Thanks again to all involved!!
